Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 74: Chapter 69: Zhan Qipei Steps Forward to Shield Qiao Jing from Romantic Pursuits

Zhan Qipei had just walked over when he heard these words. His eyes narrowed as he looked into Deng Yunyi’s dark, deep gaze. After two seconds of silence, his gaze shifted and landed on Qiao Jing.

A few days ago at his grandfather’s banquet, Qiao Jing had said she approached Deng Yunyi just to get a contact for a friend. He had believed her at the time, but now, seeing this entangled scene, he couldn’t help but doubt.

Just then, Qiao Jing’s voice, cold to the extreme, rang out.

“Are you serious or just pretending? It has nothing to do with me. I have my career and can’t possibly give it up for you. That’s it, don’t bother me anymore.”

“Miss Qiao, I thought you didn’t have anything important going on. Now I know you’re no ordinary person, and I can’t ask you to immediately give up your career to have children with me. I can give you a year’s time, after we’re married for a year, there’s no rush to have children then,” Deng Yunyi thought by compromising, Qiao Jing would agree.

Little did he know—

“Who gave you the right to think I must marry you? While I am highly intelligent, I can’t figure out your thought process. How conceited must you be to think all women in the world want to marry you and have your children?” Qiao Jing had exhausted all her patience.

His face drained of all pride upon hearing her words, leaving him pale.

“Could it be, Miss Qiao, that you don’t like me?”

Qiao Jing took a breath, speechless.

“Do I look like I like you?”

Despite what Qiao Jing said, Deng Yunyi still believed she liked him.

In his opinion, the reason Qiao Jing was behaving this way, was because she, known globally as an agricultural mogul and professor, could not get over the public rejection.

If that was the case, it’d be easy to solve. He just needed to shamelessly continue pursuing her, let her regain her dignity, and then she would accept him.

“I think you like me, we’re a natural match.”
